Let's be honest, we love working remotely.
And while we enjoy working from the comfort of our own homes, sometimes cute cats and busy kids can really keep us from....actually doing our work. Over the past few years, we've sussed out our favorite places around Austin to post up and get work done - replete with outlets, strong coffee, and good wifi. Here's what we found.
For more coffee shops we love around Austin, check out our guide here.

One thing you'll notice and appreciate about Radio Coffee as a remote work spot is how many seating options they have. There are tons of tables outside, ideal for meeting up with some co-workers on a busy weekday, but you'll want to show up on the earlier side to get a spot indoors. As far as food goes you have plenty of options at both locations, with Veracruz, Dee Dee, Briscuits, and Shortwave Diner as the on-site food trucks.

Flightpath has plenty of tables, both inside and out, with outlets and reliable wifi. But our favorite part? Their straight-up coffee and iced coffee is SO CHEAP. If you're not a latte-lover but prefer the strong stuff, head to this Hyde Park staple for some of the best-tasting and wallet-saving coffee around. Oh, and to work...

6405 Brodie Ln
The newest place on our list is a paradise tucked away in Sunset Valley. The five-acre spot boasts a plethora of indoor and outdoor seating, cocktails, wine, coffee, and grub from local favorites Veracruz All Natural and Dee Dee, as well as newcomer Bun Bun Burgers. If you want to get some work done in a place that feels like you're far away from the city, Leona is a solid option in South Austin.

Sure, you can come to Bennu for the amazing variety of mochas they offer (Oliver Twist, anyone?!) or their slightly less sweet Iced Bennu, but you'll stay for their 24-hour study/work vibe that they've curated perfectly. As a bonus, it's a great way to meet a cutie when asking to share an outlet that mysteriously dangles from the ceiling.

We've been on the search for bangin’ wifi since the dawn of time and let us tell you - the quest has concluded. With all our love and affection for great wifi, I present to you the cutest coffee shop in all the land - Ani’s Day & Night. It’s super open/airy, delicious food trucks sit out front, wifi’s great and they serve coffee + delightful mixed drinks for when you’re looking to add some spice in your day.

Great coffee, friendly staff... Weekday mornings you will find most tables at Stouthouse filled with fellow work-from-homers yielding headphones, quietly slaving away at their laptops, creating a nice and quiet atmosphere perfect for being more productive than your typical pants-less work sessions on the couch.

To throw a wrench in the typical coffee shop choice, another favorite place to post up and work is Meanwhile Brewing. They have a great coffee selection, ample seating, and it's the perfect choice for a seamless transition from work to happy hour.

That not so little ol’ Austin gem we all know started their first location down on Pickle Road—Cosmic Coffee and Beer Garden remains one of our main go-to spots. For at this sanctuary we're never left wanting. Hungry? Tacos, BBQ, wings! Thirsty? Mezcal, Modelo, Macchiato *repeat*. Bathrooms? Yes. Wifi? Cosmic Chicken (IFYKYK). Be sure to check out their new locations!

Beyond the fact that you can grab a coffee and stay at Brew & Brew until it's time for a beer (or cider), the staff is awesome, the music is always on point and the food is amazing. The covered tables outside on the small patio are the cherry on top for a very dope 'WFH' day.
